"HH, Boeing is supposedly at the point this year where it's costing less to build a 787 than they're selling them for"


Agreed - but I hadn't realised they'll need to get to #900 to write off the charegs incurred to date............................. and they also buried two early, unsellable, examples as "R&D" in the same accounts - another $800+ mm of shareholder value gone south

But I think the fact the tanker has cost them more than the original 767 development tells you some things are seriously amiss in Seattle..............

Goingto be a brave man who suggests repalcing the 737 anytime soon
